Masdar[edit]

for the sake of god,why is pro-regime Al-Masdar being used this alot.Alhanuty (talk) 00:50, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because pro-Regime sources are much better/accurate than the overtly-biased pro-ISIL sources. LightandDark2000 (talk) 04:33, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Al Masdar's accuracy has declined significantly since the rebels took Jisr ash-Shughur. Al-Masdar has repeatedly claimed that the SAA retook the sugar factory, despite the fact that they aren't even near it. So I don't think that we should be trusting al-Masdar as much anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.188.171 (talk) 04:54, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IS is still in Tadmur[edit]

Here's a video uploaded today (~7 hours ago) of the aftermath of a Government airstrike in Tadmur city. Unknown location in Tadmur, but it shows that IS still occupies at least some part of the city.
